Parents, children and friends met at
district No. 9 for the purpose of deco
rating Christmas tree and having a
literary and social entertainment. The
tree was net aI evergreen but an apple
green, one of Cameron's choicest pro:
auctions, and was laden with popcorn,
candy, apples, cotton, linen, silk, silver
and gold and presents of every descrip-
ton. Among the most acceptable was
Il little doll for Miss Mary Moore; a tin
whistle for Robert Henderson; a jews

following is the program of the evening:

a source OF combined pleasure and ter

loaded to the waters edge with many
presents some of which were indeed
elegant, while others were laughable
and created much merriment. Super

THE prohibitory law of Iowa is work
ing to the full satisfaction Of its advo-
Gates. The late decision of the supreme
court affirming its constitutionality has
encouraged those who would enforce it
and removed the only excuse of those
faint hearted ones who held up this
hope inspired doubt. Brewers and the
wiser saloon keepers bow to the inevi'
table and are removing to other states
and yet no interest is damaged that has
to do with Iowa's material prosperity
Iowa is on advanced ground.

A Great Thinker on "Convictions. :"
Chapman Courier.


 Benjamin Franklin, somewhat known to fame in this country and the whole civilized world as a patriot, philoso- pher and statesman, delivered char acteristic speech to the convention which framed the United States con- stitution, before appending his sigma ture to that document. The follow ing is an extract from his speech:
 "Mr. President, confess that do not entirely approve of the constitu- tion at present; but, sir, l am'n sure I shall never approve of it-for hav- ing lived long I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consider ation, to exchange opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought was right but found to be otherwise. It is, therefore, that the older I grow the more apt l am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the Judgment of oth- CTS. Most men, indeed, as well as most sects in religion, think them- selves in possession of all truth, and that when others differ from them it is so far error. Steele, Protestant in dedication tells the pope that the only difference between our two churches in their opinion of the cer- tainty of the doctrine, is Romanish church is infallible and the Church o1 England is never in the wrong. But though many private persons think almost as highly of their own infalli- bility as that of their own sect, few express it 80 naturally as a certain French lady, who, in little dispute with her sister, said: I don't know how it happens, sister, but I meet with nobody but myself who is always in the right"
 People who pride themselves on fix edness in one opinion, whether in pol itics or relixion, on having "convic- tions" that cannot be shaken, may draw from the above lesson to lodge in their memories. Let them try tC initiate the broadness and strive after a little portion of the wisdom that the great Franklin displayed on sc many momentous occasions. One act ually feels more contented when he re- alizes that he is not altogether supe. rior being, too immaculate for thii world of error and contention. Nc religious sect has all truth, no party all the patriotism, and no individual can claim unerring accuracy of percep. ton and judgment.

 After scratching his head thought fully for moment, he asked: "'Cap,' whar you say you git dis animule? Done pears to me I'd orter know dat hoss an I'll be dog bite eff I hain't seed her sum'heres."
 "Cap" started in with some cock and bull story as to how and where he had obtained the mare, but he never finished it.
 Uncle Artis had taken of his hat and placing it on his stick he walked up to the mare, saying: "Now, Dolly, jes lift it; one, two, three" At the word "three," Dolly did lift it. Her heels flew into the air like streak of light, and that hat went sailing twenty feet skyward, while the would-be jokers, perfectly dumb founded, stood by in silence. As he regained his battered tile Uncle Artis, with wonderfully wicked twinkle in his eye, said "Cap,' doan want no seech dang mean critter as that brute on my place. She's jes like that pest eren little dun mare what loaned to Mistah Kennels. She kick yo' shut off fore yo' knows it, No, doan want ter trade"
